: 60 cents for 6

eubsequent inser-
I of the wagging about of the big and
daik Republican dog by its insig
nificant and “yaUer” tail—the Liber
als. To accomplish the great work
before him, Mr. Lindsey has brought
out the N. C. -Republican at Weldon,
N.C. After expressing in very em
phatic terms his dissatisfaction with
the work of tho recent convention,
Mr. I "dsey says:—
“We are hardly ready yet to raise
issues with any of the nominees on
our ticket, and we wish them to take
such square ground as to enable us
to appeal to the true Republicans of
the State to give them an unstinted
and zealous support, whether they be
Republicans of the old type or late
Bourbons crossing the bridge on
their way to camps of Israel.’’
It is’nt the camps of Israel that are
luring them on, they long for the
“flesh pots of Egypt.” You will
have to feed them well if you keep
them in your camp.
The most important factor in the
industrial development of the age is
the Railroad. The day is past when
a community can expect to make
much progress unless united with
the industrial world by the iron bonds
of the railroad track. No section of
the South has, in recent years, re
ceived a greater impetus from this po
tent factor of progress than Western
North Carolina. Only a few years
since Shelby was reached by the
Carolina Central, and mark the prog
ress! But little more than ten years
since the Air Line Railroad was built
and behold the towns that have
sprung up Nice magi ^u.^ its line I
The Western North Carolina Road
has pierced the great Apalachian
chain of mountains, and brought us
into close union with the vast rail
road systems that permeate the Mis
sissippi Valley. On the Sth of next
month, Lenoir will celebrate the com
pletion of the Chester & Lenoir Rail
road, which has aheady infused new
life into Dallas, Lincolnton, Newton,
and Hickory.
Already Lenoir is girding herself
for a rapid stride forward in industri
al progress, and if the opportunities
which the coming of the Railroad
will throw open, are wisely improved,
it will quadruple its population be
fore the taking of the next census.
We see no reason for retaining in
important positions men who wish
to be classed as Democrats but who
refuse to act with the party when
important measures are to be acted
upon. A handfull of protended Dem
ocrats by voting with the Republi
cans defeated the consideration of
the Morrison-Tariff reform Bill in
Congress. Democrats everywhere
should see that no one is nominated
for Congress ibi? year who is not
sound on this question.
Mac Lindsey.—“If thy tail offend
thee cut it off for it is better to be
a big, dark, stumptailed Republican
dog than to be wagged by a tail made
out of Bourbon Democrats.”
Dr. Mott.—“Yes, Mac, but never
mind about the tail, just so it fakes
us through to the offices. So we get
in it matters little which end goes in
first. Let the tail wag!”

ANNO UNCEMENT.
/e have dAerminod to move our
per to Lenoir, and hope to be able
.o bring out the first issue at that
place on the 7th of June. Already
Lenoir has an excellent local paper,
and we may be carrying coals to New
Castle, but we hope to find room for
euch a paper as we propose to make.
The 'business men of Lenoir, no
doubt, will be surprised to have anoth
er such enterprise asking for their
support, but we expect no patronage
merely for the “good of the cause,’'
but only such as wise business men
may find it to their interest to give
us. Business is business.
As to readers, we have no fear
if we get out something worth read
ing. There are few people who
mind paying a cent or two a week
for a paper in which they are inter
ested.
Exchanges and Correspondents
will please address the CHRONICLE

LENOIR, N. C.
The suggestion of the Lincoln
.Press to place Mr. S. Wittkowsky on
the Democratic State ticket for Treas
urerhas been received - with univer
sal favor throughout tbo Western
part of the State. Mr. Wittkowsky is
no politician, but no one is, except
old office holders, better known to
the people of North Carolina. His
extensive business has brought him
in contact with the leading citizens
of the State and given them an op
portuhity of knowing whether he pos
sesses that high character which fits
one for the great trust it is proposed
to place in his hands. The endorse
ment he has already received leaves
no doubt on this point, and no high
er compliment could be paid a citizen
of the State.
He is not a candidate in the usual
sense of that term. We look with
the more favor upon his nomination
on that account. One of the evils of
politics at the present time is the en
dorsement of self-constituted candi
dates by our conventions. If we
want the best men in office, we must,
like the old Romans when they need
ed the services of Cincinnatus, go to
the counters, the workshops, and the
fields to find them.
There is great dissatisfaction in re
gard to the ticket agreed upon by
the late “Oo-alish” convention. A-
larmed at the condition of the Re
publican party, MacD. Lindsey has
rushed home from Washington to
try to avert the awful consequences
B^T’NOTICE.—Those ofour read
era who do not wish the paper con
tinued to their address, will please
notify us at once. As we expect to
devote our whole attention to the pa
per in the future, we hope to greatly
improve it. We shall not lose inter
est in W aco nor in the clever people
living in the community.

invitation to the annual Commence

came off last Wednesday. We regret
very much that we could not bo

A Lot of Boy’s Shirts cheap at

The Commencement exercises of the
University of North Carolina will
be held on the 4th and Sth of June.
Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, will
deliver the address before the two so
cieties, and Rev. J. B. Hawthorne,
D. D., of Virginia, will preach the
Baccalaureate Sermon. We have no
doubt this will be the most interest
ing occasion at Chapel Hill since be
fore the war.
The “Spirit of the Age” says, Rev.
H. M. Blair has planted the temper*

Blair is an earnest worker in the
Lord’s Vineyard and gives forth no
uncertain sound on the temperance
question. We trust the wave he has
started in the East will swell and
spread till the Western hills are
washed of the whisky curse.—Hick'

The Celebration was a big thing—
for the hotels, the livery stables, and
bar keepers of Charlotte. One of the
latter says be took in over $2,000.
From this we conclude that at least
820,000 was spent there for drink.
This is no extravagant estimate, for
there are upward of twenty bar rooms
in Charlotte. No wonder we have
drinking Congressmen, drinking Leg
islators, drinking Judges,—we are a
drinking people, no denying it. In
the significant language of the old to

The Gordon Light Infantry, from
Winsboro') S C., won the $1003 prize
at Charlotte last Tuesday, for the
best drilled company. The company
was commanded by Capt. W. J. Jor

teous freight agent at Winnsboro-.
The company made a fine appear
ance, and won high compliments
fiom the admiring spectators.
Mr. Brice, of ibis place has sever
al kinsmen enrolled in this company,
The Southern Stars from Lincoln

we think, of any on the ground.
With few exceptions this company is
made up of fine looking, robust young
men.

THE SCIIOOI^ AT WACO.
When 1 came here nearly a year
nao. tn take 'Aarge jif the school here
it was my intentionto do all in my
power to establish:, first class school.
The school was oper for nine months
and was as successlnl as could have
been expected nad^r the circumstan
ces, Not being situited so that I can
move my family .ere, and feeling
that this is, perhajs, the greatest draw
bask to the succes of the enterprise,
I have thought it test to decline to
undertake the management of the
school for another year. I appreciate
very highly the assurances that I
have received that my services here
have been acceptable, and I hope
the Trustees of the school will se-
cure.the services of some one better
qualified, and more favorably situat
ed to advance the educational inter
eats of the community.
